Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Set the intake and exhaust valve lash on an L48EE and the number you want is 0.15 mm, printed in the Service Standards table on page 19 of this manual. It is Yanmar's own service manual, publication M9961-H11310, for the L48EE, L70EE and L100EE industrial diesel engines, including the L48EE-D(E), L70EE-D(E) and L100EE-D(E) variants: 136 pages, English, delivered as a PDF download.
Every day the engine sits in pieces is a day whatever it powers stands idle, and this book covers the whole job: disassembly and reassembly procedures, service standards with wear limits for valves, piston, connecting rod, crankshaft and main bearing, a full tightening torque table, fuel injection pump and governor service, injection timing adjustment, air bleeding, and an electrical section with wiring diagrams plus troubleshooting charts.
Buy it once and it is yours: keep the file, print the torque pages for the bench, and reassemble to the clearances Yanmar intended.
